Is Anyone Playing Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled Online In 2025?

[@JamesLikesToGame]

Please note: despite the year change, this online problem situation is STILL RELEVANT to this very day. It's sad and unfortunate that Beenox couldn't fix the one part of this game. People had issues with, and the chose to "prioritise" the Grand Prix and new content. Over, FIXING what should be a simple solution and what was staring at them in the face. But turned a blind eye to it instead. Thanks for the support of this video guys, you are all amazing!

1:48 sadly that right there is the true Nitro Fueled experience.. I love the game and all but that disconnect glitch has been around since the start. It's been 5 years and they've not once fixed it

[@JamesLikesToGame]

And sadly, 5 years later and it would still be there. There's so much about this game that should have fixed ngl (online in particular) I love this game but man I wish these things were fixed.

I still play this on Xbox to this day. I've almost beaten all the dev times aswell. Very fun game with lots of skill exrpession. Its a shame the playerbase is somewhat dead tho. The dude who got first in every race still plays to this day and is actually very hard to beat.

I am 30 years old now and it's been almost 20 years since I last played this game. Too many good memories.

@@ARMWRESTLINGNEWZ This game is awesome and this Nitro Fueled version is awesome as well. You’ll definitely get enjoyment out of this. Though the online has lot to be desired, as seen in the video itself 😅 Also 20 years! CTR Nitro Fueled is so good check it out when you can!

[@ARMWRESTLINGNEWZ]

@@JamesLikesToGame Dp you think if by any chance this game gets offered in the monthly games of PS membership, it can revive the live races a little bit?

[@JamesLikesToGame]

@@ARMWRESTLINGNEWZ I don’t know about it being in PS membership. But if it does become available, try it. Other than that, you’ll have to purchase it.

The online may be pretty dead, but the single player experience this game gives is amazing and hours of fun. It’s even better if you have some friends over to play with you!

[@JamesLikesToGame]

@@TheShadowOfInnocence The part about the Single player experience I fully agree with you on that. Lots of fun! Story mode fantastic, Arcade mode, where you get to play any tracks of your choice. Bloody amazing! I love this game. (I just can’t pretend to say “I love the online mode, it’s great” as it had potential but really has fall short in that area sadly) overall amazing game!

This Game need crossplay

[@JamesLikesToGame]

Yes! That would have been great if it did.

[@protonskull]

i play it alot sometimes you get full lobbies but the servers are really bad sometimes the race just doesnt start and thats the biggest issue imo but if you ever run into Star_Bandicoot he is the best racer ive seen in this game

[@JamesLikesToGame]

Kinda makes me wish that they did fix this games online mode as it’s really good but all the issues with it is what plagues it. If I do run into Star_Bandicoot I’ll be sure to let you know and I full believe you when you say he is the best racer in this game.

There's a game called The Karters 2: Turbo Charged coming out in early 2025 on PC. It's coming to consoles later on, and it will have crossplay. The game allows mods. The community modded Crash, Cortex, Coco, Pasadena, Tiny, Pinstripe, and other Crash characters in the game. They also modded a bunch of tracks from Crash Team Racing, Mario Kart, and Pac-Man World Rally. I hope the game becomes huge when it drops since it's literally going to become a kart racer that lets us play as any fictional character imaginable. It's going to be one big unofficial crossover lol. I checked the steam page, and they modded characters like Barbie, Bart Simpson, Spongebob Squarepants, and Mickey Mouse. Characters you wouldn't ever imagine being in the same video game with each other 😂.

[@JamesLikesToGame]

That interesting! I'll definitely have to check it out! I think the community for that game will Definitely be huge for that part alone. Thanks for your comment!

[@TheShadowOfInnocence]

Thanks for letting me know! This sounds like it’ll be fun.

[@garrettjohnson2748]

It’s such an awesome game I just got it and thought the online was just like that on the switch ! But it’s still #1 even without online

[@JamesLikesToGame]

@@garrettjohnson2748 This game is still amazing even offline. So many great new characters, stunning visuals and the voice acting fantastic! Though the online has a lot let to be desired and hence this videos existence. Thanks for your comment and watching the video!

[@Nimtendo03]

I like this game, but I don't really play it because the load times on Switch are abysmal. I think it's genuinely 1:30 per load screen, or at least the one I timed was 😭 The game seems really fun as well, but I can't deal with load times that are almost longer than the actual gameplay 😭 Might try it again on pc one day whenever I actually get a gaming pc. Oh, and no crossplay is a crime, like why?

[@JamesLikesToGame]

@@Nimtendo03 Dude, the loads times on Switch are so bad, it’s almost criminal at times lol. I enjoy the game, but I cannot look over these flaws that Beenox never got to finish patching and addressing. Hoping for a PC port 🤞🏻 so that they can come back and finally fix the problems they’ve left the game in and more. I do agree with the fact that cross play DOESN’T exist at all! Even though this did come out after TSR came out earlier that same year.

[@Nimtendo03]

@JamesLikesToGame maybe I should try TSR some time. Is the Switch version of that game any good?

[@JamesLikesToGame]

If 30fps isn’t a concern?And enjoy just a little bit of loading times and can be okay with not finding anyone online! (mainly because finding someone to play online is virtually impossible) then yes, the game is worth a shot on Switch but it’s not better then S&SASR or S&ASRT for that matter.

Can you still play private match

[@JamesLikesToGame]

You can, just find people who have this game and can play with you.
